Li Yi and his two subordinates looked at each other, but the old knife stopped peeling apples, "I was locked up - when I was young and went to the police academy, I fought with the instructor and was locked up in a small black room for three days. ”

Shen Tangzhi asked, "What do you feel?" ”

"It's like a nightmare - fortunately, it's only for three days, and if it were a few more days, I don't know if I'll be driven crazy." Lao Dao couldn't bear to look back with an expression, "To be honest, Lao Tzu still has a bit of a psychological shadow. ”

Li Yi on the side was full of disbelief: "Brother Dao, is there such an evil sect?" You are so ruthless that a man can't stand being locked up in a small black room for a few days? ”

The old knife squinted at him with his eyes: "Hehe, do you know what the little black room is like in confinement?" There are at most two square meters in it, except for a squatting pit that poops and pees, there is not a single fart! The walls around are covered with soft cotton, both soundproof and to prevent you from self-harm, more than three meters high to have a palm-sized small iron window, just give you ventilation, no light can penetrate in, you just need to enter and stay in it for a few minutes, keep your heart beating fast, cold sweat straight out. ”

Li Yi stared, as if imagining it in his head, and then his face fell: "My grass, is it as scary as you say?" Brother Dao, you didn't mean to scare me by saying that, did you? Even if it's confined, someone has to watch it, isn't it over chatting with him? ”

"Are you kid still joking with you? Still chatting? Who the is talking to you, do you understand military discipline?! The old knife raised his hand angrily and wanted to throw it at Li Yi's head, and when he saw that he was still holding a fruit knife in his hand, he focused on the back of Li Yi's head with the handle of the knife, "Don't say that someone is chatting with you, you are there, you don't even know day and night, you can't do anything except sleep." It's okay to be locked up for two or three days, but a week can directly torture people crazy! Staying there for a day will feel like three days and always feel like they've forgotten you. ”

Li Yi shrank his head and smacked his tongue.

When I heard this, I somewhat understood why Shen Tangzhi asked this question, and said: "Old knife, then you can tell me, what are the manifestations of people after being locked up?" ”

"When you first go in, of course, you don't take it seriously, but within a day, that claustrophobic fear will make you unconsciously start yelling and screaming, and this is the first stage; In the second stage, because there is no one to talk to, you may start talking to yourself; In the third stage, you can't control your brain, and your mind will be full of messy things, what memories, all kinds of weird thoughts, cranky thoughts; And in the fourth stage, you will fall into silence, and it looks like you are adapting, but in fact, hehe, people who have reached the fourth stage will have more or less psychological problems after they are released. ”

Li Yi asked, "Brother Dao, what about the fifth stage?" ”

"Hehe, in the fifth stage, people will go crazy." The old knife sneered.

Li Yi was stunned for a while, then suddenly smiled, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, this trick is ruthless enough!" The next time he messes with Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will lock up that turtle son in a small black house for a few days! Hahaha......"

Hearing Li Yi say this, the two big King Kongs under his command, sandbags and gluten, glanced at each other, and they all felt a chill behind them.

"You kid take it easy, after Lao Tzu taught you waterboarding last time, you almost killed someone, you really think of yourself as a hei society! Don't come nonsense! Lao Dao scolded Li Yi with a smile, and the latter naturally immediately promised not to mess around.

I said to Shen Tang: "You ask about confinement, do you think that the process of 'copying' consciousness to "Eternal Life Game" is very similar to confinement? ”

Shen Tangzhi nodded: "We have all heard of legends such as reincarnation, reincarnation, and seizure, which can probably be regarded as a process of 'consciousness transfer', but according to your description, after Ji Lan used that 'invisible helmet', she still retained her original consciousness, so you think it's not 'consciousness transfer', but 'consciousness replication', right?" ”

"Yes, I think so."

"Why don't you think that Ji Lan is actually completely dead?"

"Everything we're talking about is based on believing in the quantum suicide theory, right? Since consciousness is immortal, then of course Ji Lan has gained immortality. Otherwise—"

At this point, I stopped abruptly, I was about to say, "Otherwise, could it be that Ji Lan is actually lying?" ”

That's right, unless Ji Lan lies to us - the "Eternal Life Game" does not exist at all, and there is no so-called dead person's consciousness alive in that game, then, what quantum suicide and immortality of consciousness have all lost their factual basis, at most it is just a scientific hypothesis, and like some other appalling hypotheses, there is nothing special.

However, there is no need for Ji Lan to lie - she has paid the price of being imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital and even dying in the end!

She paid for her precious life, just to pass on a lie to us?

Is this possible?

Therefore, there is a great probability that what Ji Lan said is true.

And I'm sure she's really seen the Game of Eternal Life.

At least...... She "felt" that "Eternal Game" was real.

When my thoughts arrived here, I suddenly understood what Shen Tangzhi wanted to say to me, and the whole person was terrified!

"Could it be that ......" I just felt a dry tongue and swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, "the so-called 'eternal life' is not actually in that game?" ”

"Ji Lan was deceived by that K." Shen Tangzhi looked at me with a serious expression, "Since you are 'copying' your consciousness into that 'Eternal Life Game', how can you guarantee that the 'you' in the game is still yourself?" This is 'cloning' at best. But if the cloning technology is really mature, clone a you, that clone, is it still you? At most, it's just a 'different person' who is exactly the same as you, both physically and mentally! So, K's 'eternal life' is not actually in the game. ”

"That 'invisible helmet' is the key to everything, and the short moment Ji Lan puts on the helmet is eternal." Sweat welled up in my head, "But can 'eternal life' in that state still be considered 'eternal life'?" ”

"That's ...... Endless torment. Shen Tangzhi's face was also extremely ugly, "It's terrifying." ”

I was silent.

yes, it's terrifying.

Consciousness, that is, the spirit, the mind, it resides in our brains, and our brains are really a wonderful thing, even when you are bored and have nothing to do, it can bring you the pleasure of free thinking, but it is all based on the fact that we can receive new stimuli from the outside world......

If you lose all your senses and are not exposed to any new stimuli for a long time, then your brain will become a terrible monster - it will bring all kinds of negative emotions, it will fantasize about countless horrific situations, it will attack itself ruthlessly, and it will devour itself in a way that ordinary people can't imagine!

And the process of 'copying' consciousness is like the "confinement" described by the old knife - in the process of consciousness being copied, your consciousness is also imprisoned in a small black room!

How long will this process last?

In my opinion, as a bystander, after Ji Lan put on the 'invisible helmet' at that time, almost instantly, the process of 'copying' was completed.

But for Ji Lan, how long will this process take?

When consciousness is stripped of its physical body, it completely loses all senses and floats in a dark void...... A second there, how long will it be?

A year?

A hundred years?

A thousand years?

A trillion years?!

It would be a long and boundless time, close to infinite eternity!

And when Ji Lan's consciousness spans an almost infinite long time, how much ideological content will her consciousness derive?

When she suddenly saw the light again and returned to her body, could her brain still withstand the endless, terrifyingly large thoughts that had grown up in the endless amount of time?

I guess I can't bear it.

So, everyone died, including Ji Lan - their brains were completely burned out in an instant like a CPU that had been madly overloaded!

I can't help but recall what Ji Lan said to me:

"If there is such a game, its world is infinitely large, it allows you to freely choose and reset your life at any time, its servers are never shut down......"

"Have you ever thought that way - if only there were games like this?"

Do you think so?

[The Game of Eternal Life, end.] 】
